19 July 2022 Please, I love Airtable but the simple notifications are not cutting it for a busy team. We need much more control: an integration of notifications for Comments and @mention, notification control in automations, notifications in Interfaces (we are stuck using Interfaces until this happens) have a goal of notifications serving teams IN AIRTABLE without sending email or Slack or whatever, simply being able to isolate records with outstanding notifications of any kind for the current user in a search would be bliss, and more. I’m sure you get it already but this is as important for team collaboration as being able to do the things Airtable does well: shape the data, make effective interfaces, etc, etc.

This has been driving me crazy for years now. Airtable is incredible, and I use it for so many things, but it’s never been suitable for high-quality collaboration because the email/notification system is really feature poor. The way @mentions, collaborator fields, and instant notifications work, it’s a total inbox nightmare. I realise Automations are one way of changing how emails and notificaitons work, but they only add to the inbox pool, as you cannot disable or change notification settings on a base-by-base basis. What’s even more frustrating is how simple these would be to fix with a few base-wide settings. Disable ALL notifications except @mentions Disable “Watching” on records Disable “Auto-Watching” when a collaborator is assigned to a record Any variation of those would instantly fix these issues for a lot of threads I’ve seen with similar complaints. Someone called it a “boy who cries wolf” inbox situation. Another, probably more complicated fix, would be queueing email notifications in batches (like Trello). Instead sending an email anytime anything changes on a record instantly, maybe queue them for a couple minutes, or add the option, so you have some leeway on accidently sending someone an incorrect email on an incorrect record change. Thanks team, this software is incredible, it just is in dire need of some notification attention.

It would be easier to sift through notifications if notifications were shown for the base you are in only.

I would really love a feature to mass unfollow records. Some things I am automatically following from when I worked on them 2 iterations ago and I’m still receiving notifications about them. It’s just a burden to go through everything and unfollow it one by one.

When a user comments on a record they are automatically notified of updates to that record. Although this can be switched off by ticking “not watching”, it seems repetitive and annoying as it is the norm for me and my team not to watch records. I appreciate that for most users, commenting and being automatically added to watching the record is correct. It would be good (as the base admin) to be able to switch off the auto-watching for all base users.

We have many views that records pass through as certain criteria is met. Eg. The “photo is ready for loading view”. Currently a user must open a view to see if there is a record (or more) in it that needs attention. Would be great if on a view we could switch on “notification” which would then show a red button on the view title in the left view menu with the number of records in the view showing inside the red the button. Just like messaging on your phone. Then at a glance we can see what needs to be done.

It would be very helpful to have the ability to set up some kind of notification for changes to the base structure (adding/removing/renaming columns or tables). Not having this ability results in having to manually review our bases for changes when something breaks. :grimacing:

Would like a chat block :pray: I know that lot of communication happens in Slack but I think that it would be useful anyway Here is how it could work: A chat block could be set to display comments from records across the entire base from the views of your choice. So it would be like a basewide activity feed. Like the activity feed, you could select whether you will see activity and comments or only comments. Sometimes I miss the ability to quickly see what has happened in the base since last. With the coming block dashboard you could create a dashboard for certain teams and add chat blocks only for them, and that would only show records comments from the views that were relevant to them I actually think that a lot of our Slack channels would end up as Chat blocks if this was an option. It would also give people a sense of being together in a base and not just working together on it.

My issue is my Notification window shows notifications for issues and errors with automation across entire workspace. If there are multiple clones of the same base, it is impossible to tell which notification is for which base. I have to click on the notification and it takes me to the base. That’s OK if I have time to deal with all, but if all is want I want to focus on the issues for a specific base, I can’t tell which is which. Yes, sure, I can change the name of the automation but it won’t help once I copy clone the base, I will need to rename all the automations. It would be nice if there was name of the base under the date/time of the notification.

I’d like to suggest adding a feature where we can quickly acknowledge comments or activity of other users in the “Activity” sections of projects. Generally this is something like a thumbs up button where somebody can click on it as a way of simply letting the person who made a comment or any kind of post in the activity center know that they have seen their submission without needing to take the time to type out a comment informing them they have seen it. Thanks!
